Sunflower: A potential fructan-bearing crop?
Grain filling in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) mainly depends on actual photosynthesis, being the contribution of stored reserves in stems (sucrose, hexoses and starch) rather low. Drought periods during grain filling often reduce yield. Increasing the capacity of stem to store reserves could hel...
